Brian Conz (born January 25, 1966) is an American former professionalstock car racing driver who has previously competed in theARCA Re/Max Series.

Conz began his racing career in 1998, driving in street stocks.^[1]

After making select starts in the Iceman Super Car Series between 1991 and 1994, Conz made hisARCA Bondo/Mar-Hyde Series debut atMichigan Speedway, driving the No. 18Oldsmobile that he owned, where he finished fourteenth after starting 29th. He then made another start that year atLowe's Motor Speedway, where he finished 41st after suffering engine issues before the start of the race. He then made four more starts the following year, where he got a best finish of seventeenth atTalladega Superspeedway, where he drove the No. 06Pontiac forWayne Peterson Racing.

In 1998, Conz ran the full ARCA schedule, splitting time between driving for Peterson andJames Hylton Motorsports. He finished tenth in the final point standings despite not finishing higher than twelfth, which was achieved atTexas Motor Speedway. Afterwards, Conz made only seven more starts between 1999 and 2002, getting a best result of twelfth atChicagoland Speedway in 2002. For the following year in 2003, Conz ran the majority of races on the schedule, splitting time betweenWayne Peterson Racing and Anthony Desmond. He finished eighteenth in the final standings with a best result of 21st atPocono Raceway. It was also during this year that he attempted to make hisNASCAR Busch Series debut atNazareth Speedway, driving the No. 70Chevrolet forDavis Motorsports, but ultimately failed to qualify. In 2004, he attempted to make the Busch Series season opener atDaytona International Speedway, this time driving the No. 05Chevrolet forDay Racing Enterprises, but also failed to qualify. It was also during this year that he was in a legal battle with his brother, Edward "Butch" Conz Jr., after it was alleged that the elder Conz had purposefully took possession of the cars and equipment in order to sell them and keep the profits for his own gain.^[2] Also included was the complaint that Conz had run a paint scheme for Daytona that advertised the2004 presidential campaign of George W. Bush, with the hood of the car having phrases like "Bush", "Cheney", and "04".^[2]

After not making any starts for the next two years, Conz returned to theARCA Re/Max Series at Daytona, driving the No. 8Dodge forSadler Brothers Racing, where he qualified in sixteenth but finished 37th after being collected in a multi-car crash halfway through the race.^[3] It was also revealed in January of that year that Conz would run the fullNASCAR Busch Series schedule forFrank Cicci Racing in the No. 34Chevrolet, withScottish Rite serving as the sponsor.^[1][4] However, this ultimately would fall through after the team put Conz and Scottish Rite on notice after failing to pay for its financial obligations, and Conz was ultimately replaced byJay Sauter after Daytona, whereSteve Grissom drove the No. 34.

In 2008, Conz attempted to make the ARCA race at Daytona, driving the No. 86Dodge forCorrie Stott Racing, but failed to qualify. This would be his most recent attempt as a driver, as he has not competed in any racing series since then.^[5]
